What Matters Most Conversations

People ask me about my Social Entrepreneur Activism and what that has to do with a WholeHealth Wealth Worldview or what this has to do with my WholeHealth Wealth Innovative Incubator Worldview.  So, first let’s look at some Reality:
1.      In the United States we have a 23.1% Child Poverty rate that among other developed World Nations is only 2nd to Romania.
2.      In the United States we have the (Highest) Incarceration rate in the world and we have the (Highest) Incarceration rate of any nation in history.
3.      In the United States 46 MILLION PEPLE live in poverty.
4.      Globally (17K Children) will die of starvation.  EVERY 4 SECONDS a CHILD will starve to death on this planet.
5.      Globally 1 BILLION PEOPLE live on less than $1.25 a day and another 1 BILLION PEOPLE live on less than $2.00 a day.
I could continue, but I’m going to stop here and say, this alone should be sufficient for any sentient being to conclude 'Enough is Enough'.  This should be sufficient to keep not just Mothers but Fathers and the entire Human Species up nights because Social Intelligence tells us, if we think we can continue with:
·        The chasm between the haves and have not, rich and poor in this country and around the world,
·        Declaring War anywhere, anytime, and causing deeper wounding, death and destruction, verses healing,
·        Showing no reverence to this planet consistently,
·        Living with a lack of Brotherly and Sisterly love/ balance at the center of human civilization,
·        Saying one thing in our Constitution, Contracts and doing the opposite routinely without consequences
that would  not just be naïve folks, but a Multiple Diagnosis of Mental Illness, Addiction, lethal levels of both Heart Disease and Cancer.  Given the current conundrums, this culture will not survive another century without systemic shifts.  We are severely fragmented, only seeing parts not the whole or big picture.  Therefore, in my worldview, this is the problem and the solution is to raise consciousness to a higher levels of complexity theory, systems strategies, then get that contemplation in action for real change.

Who are We. . .What are We doing?

As a Senior/Elder of this community my biggest professional role today is to help people make sense of things and to grasp what is going on in their worldview from both a shared vision from current concepts and ancient wisdom traditions.
I write on multiple planes but today, I’m focused on Individual, Grassroots Movement and Industrial, Main Street, and often both apply simultaneously.  For certain, I see my job as enhancing the social intelligence (the real) medicine wanted in community, so the people become the cure most needed now.
We have two issues that reflect each other clearly in my view and that is the over population and pollution of the planet.  Our human footprint shows we are way past the capacity for the planet to care for it’s people (providing food, water, and process waste).  The number 1.7, means we are well beyond the potential of one earth to support this civilization over a century ago.  Should China reach the same level of affluence and waste of the United States, the number will show we have doubled the pressure for any caring capacity on the planet.  If India does the same, the number will triple.  We will have extended the planets potential to care its inhabitance three times it’s normal size.
Consequently, today intelligent people can not rationally or logically, think we could just keep going the way we are and everything will be fine or that the future is going to look like the past.  This is true because humans, are doing the same thing to their own BodyMinds with lives pushed beyond normal DNA design.  People have more children than they can care for, educate, they are polluting these BodyMinds and the Spirit of the species is being squashed.  Can we see the similarity and the need for a shift?
Then, join me to be the Change we want to See in our World.
